What We Need.

We the citizens of the county
need good active Fish and Game
Commissioner.
If we have not been wrongly in
formed, the river and deep basins
in the canal are full of fish-traps
and sundry parties make II com
mon practice of fishing with snatch.
nets in open and notorious viola
tion of the laws of the State, and
the interest of those who enjoy the
legitimate sport of angling.
We have in Hooking county as
good and prolific waters as can be
found in the State, but these adj
vantages are almost wholly lost by
the illegal practices, ofa few selfish
1aw-breakers, who should be
brought to speedy justice and thus
caused to see the error Of their
ways. Let us by all means have
an officer whose special duty it is
to see that the provisions of the
protective laws are strictly en-
forced.

THE Republicans of Cleveland
die very hard. Last winter they
got their Legislature to so gerry
mander the city for Alderman that
not single Democrat could be
elected to that Board. The people
took a hand at the polls, and the
Board of Aldermen was largely
Democratic when the vote was
counted. Then when the new
Board selected city officers, the Re-
publican incumbents set up a howl
that the Republican Legislature
exceeds its lawful powers in re-
districting the city and that, as a
matter of consequence, the new
Board has no lawful powers. This
is exactly on a par with the Re-
publican way Of doing things. If
they had succeeded in electing u
solid Board of Aldermen as they
expected to do, the law would have
been all right. Failing in that
they propose to hold on to all the
Offices on the plea that they have
been law breakers heretofore. 1t
takes a Republican politician and
Office holder to beat IL leech in
holding on as long as single drop
of blood is to be extracted from the
public treasury.-OhiO Eagle.

THE well-drillers at North Balti-
more have developed curious
thing. At a depth of 1000 feet they
struck an oak tree, through which
they have drilled ten feet, and have
not bored through it. The chips

is as solid as the best oak that can
be found ON the surface OF the

The G. o. 7. are hungry.

The Republican leaders claim
that they and they only should be
trusted with official position, for
the reason that the liberties of the
people, are, and be safe in no other
hands, and in view of this loud and
oft repeated claim, our attention
is particularly directed to the ques-
tion of the liberty of the citizens at
this time. Outside the rights to
which mankind are endowed by
nature, there is no more important
right belonging to the American
citizen than the right of having II
voice in the choice of the individu-
ais who shall be clothed with the
power of administering the laws,
and for the time being are our
masters.
The right to vote is the constitu.
tional right of every citizen, not
disabled by operation of law. The
right, of the majority, to have the
result of their combined votes re-
spected and obeyed is the living
essence of American liberty, which
cannot be encrOached upon,
without robbing the citizen of a
portion Of his liberty, and weaken
ing the guards which the constitu-
and laws has erected to repel the
attacks of the usurper.
With the foregoing facts as rule
we can measure the honesty of the
claims of the Republican sachems
and detect their hollowness.
Who in this connection cannot
remember the result of November
1876 and the lawless and tyrannic-
al utterances and actions of the
Republicans, with regard to the
Presidential succession, when
through and by virtue of their dis
honest and revolutionary action,
Hayes was seated in the Presiden-
tial chair. Now ten years after this
occurrence there is no member of
the party having any knowledge of
the history of the times will claim
that Hayes was elected to the place.
Again we are called to note II SINH
lar, though more diminutive, at
tempt to hold to official position
regardless of the expressed will of
the people.
The recently elected Democratic
Board of Aldermen of Cleveland
are refused recognition by the Re-
publican Board of Councilmen, up
on the tiimsy pretext that the, law,
creating the Board of Aldermen is
deficient and hence void. Acting
on this theory the Republican Board
of Councilmen refused to meet with
the Aldermen, on Monday night in
joint session. The Republican met
and elected the Republican incum-
bents to the various City offices,
and they will contest the positions
with the Democrats in the Courts.
The Democratic members of the
Board of Councilmen then met in
joint session, there being enough of
them to constitute quorum. May
or Babcock appeared before them,
delivered his inaugural address
and was sworn into Office by the
retiring Mayor.
Here we have a second exhibition
of the hollowness- of the patriotism
of those who are so loud in de-
nouncing their opponents as traitors
and rebels. When the will of peo-
pie interferes with the propensity
of these frauds to feed on the pub
lie pap. The eyes of the public are
watching and are slowly but cer-
tainly visiting the sins of these
political vultures on their heads,
and it will be a happy day for the
country when they are'all buried
under the avalanch of public in
.dignation.
